gub

Went really well , got lots of positive feedback after the gig and i dont think i sounded too out of key for most of the time . the gig was recorded so will know a bit more when i listen back to it . so glad i just got in there and did it though as could of been messing about changing my mind for ages.

Played a local pub lastnight with the new fretless for the first time ,i must admit i took the fretted aswell but tell you what , i was enjoying myself so much with the new one i didnt even get round to swapping for the songs i thought would sound a bit strange with it , yes there were a few intonation issues as expected but overall i think it went great . the gig was recorded from the desk although myself and the guitarists just played from backline but hopefully will be able to listen back and see how i actualy sounded.

Will go for it then ,cheers guys

After just getting the unlined fretless which i am totaly new to ,i am contemplating using it for the gig tomorrow for most of the songs . will take a fretted as well for some numbers though . i have not had a rehersal with the band with it yet but been playing it at home for a week and i think i can do ,yes there will be some intonation problems but i think overall i could pull it off. just looking for your thoughts really ,what would you do?

cheers guys , i have cranked up the boss multi effect thingy and am having some fun with it . seems to have loads of options and am trying them all out .

Looks cool ,i am the same as have just bought my first fretless ,done a few bits on it to make it more me and am really loving it , what tunes are you youtubin? i am looking at stuff like peter gabriel atm ,that tony levin is a legend!

Wow is 45 mins the norm? it seems like a long time!

My last hobbie was old rusty v dubs and that has cost me a shed load over the last 20 years or so. which makes me feel a little better when i shell out a bit for a new bass ,leads etc . i do play in a covers band though which brings in maybe £100 a month average and we are lucky enough to get a free rehersal room when ever we need it .

Very nice .

Cant seem to find anything more than a couple of bars.

Just had to reply really as am new to fretless myself and loving it , i would say if you enjoy the yammy then stick some money into that one . here is my new baby ..

Well i ended up putting a bridge cover on her and got a nice rosewood thumb rest while i was at it , i think it looks loads better now

I have a BOSS ME-50B which the guy i got my amp from chucked in with the deal but have still not used it with the band as am a bit confused by all the knobs !

I am thinking of putting a bridge cover on my fender jazz ,i would love to put a pick cover on too but feel this would get in the way as i tend to rest my thumb on top of the pickup . anyone else play with these on?

mmm double bass, maybe as i have just gone to fretless this m ay be the next step for me!

Cheers eskimo ,its a mij about 96 i think ,just changed the scratchplate to a torty one as love the look of it with the cream ,looks better than the white it came with imo .

Well i took all the advice in guys and went and got this little lovely , enjoying the new experience so far and looking forward at getting it into rehersals next week. [attachment=80612:226772_1...071626_s.jpg] [attachment=80611:248738_1...892435_n.jpg]

I got my fender jazz from doug ,very helpful and bass was packed really well ,good comms too! would do business with him again without hesitation!

Well i have gone for DR NMR 45 SUNBEAMS in the end cost me £25 on e bay ,most i have ever paid for strings so hope they are worth it!

lovely

i thought the drummer was great and made what would of otherwise been an average song into something more interseting !

[quote name='fumps' post='1235770' date='May 18 2011, 02:42 PM']Its from Meddle mate It's an old friends favorite tune by pink floyd who sadly died at a young age, i am planning a return to performing live for a gig in his memory & we want to play it straight after "Wish you were here" in his memory. I'm just really struggling with this one[/quote] What a nice idea ,dont thik i could hold it together long enough to play wish you were here though , an amazing song choice.

getting ready to watch this now hope its good !
